Imagination is the magic touch that gilds your frame of mind. Praising a wife may at first frighten her, then flatter her, but never offend her. Merely getting ahead of others is not a goal; getting along with yourself is always a game. A highbrow heightens his ego but lowers his prestige. Natural histor y$"ry.
